[Galaxy S II General] groaner:
I have been told this as well.

Basically after so many exchanges you then need to send it in to thier repair department. If so many have the same problem they assume that either 'thats jsut how the phone is" or samsung/bell will need to determine if it is a trend and replace accordingly.

I exchanged 3 times (4th phone) and am just going to keep this one. the blotches on black are not a killer for me. i'll deal with it. I like the phone too much to let this little thing continue to bother me.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Yeah I believe those are OLED technology limitations but SAMOLED is supposed to feature really great and uniform black levels, so phones with a lightblob may have some quality control issue but since we all have different usages it may not bother some, it slightly bothers me a bit since I watch a lot of movies and I see it on dark spots. Mine is like splashes of water on the entire edge and some blobs in the middle. Very faint and only visible in close to total darkness.

True, stores in my place started to claim that those defects are normal or how the S2 is supposed to be.. nothing much we as the customers can do, but at least samsung did cater to my 3rd replacement.. gonna try for 4th and if not ill think of something else maybe get a refund and re-buy a few in a few months.
[Galaxy S II General] derringdo:
Has anyone tried replacing their phone through the mail? I remember I did that for my first Bell phone years ago.

Edit: called Bell customer service and answered my own question. They said I had to go into a store to do it. They only do the mail exchange if it's a device fresh out of the box (exchanges don't count?)
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Heres a photographic representation of the white blobs or whatever its called on my current screen.

Only using a P&S camera here so image noise is high and at the same time visibility will differ from monitor to monitor, but for those using a TN monitor you may need to stand up and look at an angle to make it visible. Might be hard to spot but in normal usage in a dark room the edge bleed is extremely visible

This one is edited with increased exposure to highlight the effect, brings it closer to what I see in real life.
[Galaxy S II General] rodries:
I have zero issues with my screen
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
No offense but I honestly dont see how it contributes to the thread, not that posting our issues here also fixes it :p
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
Went to the service center yesterday for the 4th replacement and I was given an option to choose from 4 different phones.. powered them all up together and saw severe yellow tinting on 2 of the 4 units, its so severe that the tech and sales person assisting me immediately saw it w/o the need for explanation, I just pointed it out, it could not produce white colors in low brightness levels, Had both returned to the box and examined the last 2 units, both had yellow tint but very minimal and should be easily alleviated by a 2.3.4 kernel. Tested it in a dark room (stockroom) the blotches were even far worse that it was on mine, their demo unit though didnt have blotches so they are accepting it for a replacement but I'll have to wait for a new batch.
[Galaxy S II General] siebenhundertzehn:
I have a similar issue, realized it last night for the first time. For me it looks more like if someone smeared with a finger over the display from the inside or something. You can only see it, if in total darkness and having an almost complete dark screen. As soon as there is something on the screen it is not really noticeable any more, since whatever is on the screen is too bright, such that the eyes adopt to that. I first realized it, when being in the Settings -> Docking Station menu.

So, as long as this is only a minor visual defect and does not affect the operation of the device or the screen (in the future), I think I am fine with it. In normal usage conditions (99,9%) it is not noticeable.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
I notice it only when im viewing movies even on a not totally dark screen even if its just the lower right ( in landscape mode ) portion is dark/black it pops out OR when you get one of those 2-3 seconds of all black screen before something changes to the next scene or in between a commercial cut, I would have preferred a uniform blotch on the entire screen.. doest matter if my black level is not that deep as others.. Maybe theres a kernel hack to this that limits the lowest possible blacks..
[Galaxy S II General] zayeshk:
I've got a similar problem in my s2 as well.. there are these black blotches and lines in the left side of the screen. on the bottom its more darker and the rest is more lighter..its also impossible to notice at daily use and visible when i'm watching a dark part of a movie in a dark environment only.its also visible in the "*#0*#" screen test as well.

I hope to exchange it but i cant figure out a way to show it to the csc. and besides who knows what other problems will the other phone have.. so far there are no other noticeable issues.even though i had the yellow tint issue it was cleared by the firmware update..

I'd say if it doesn't bother you at ur daily life, just live with it..my only worry is whether this will increase in the future causing those to appear even in the other brightness levels..

I've been looking for Tmobile wifi calling app that is compatible with Virtuous Unity ROMs. I found this patch in the original thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15293933&highlight=unity-glacier-v1.26.1b-wifi-calling-MDJ#post15293933

However after flashing the zip into VU 1.29/31 (full-wiped installation) my cell phone radio just died due to SIM card error... The Tmo wifi app wasn't activated as well because it requires reading the SIM card... I kept looking for two days but only got some patches for kernels prior to the release of 1.29, which I think is dated.

Can anyone provide the right apk or flashable zip files (with links to the OPs)? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I'm not sure what your issue is. VU comes with the T-Mobile WiFi Calling app and it works great out of the box.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawacoffee:
I supposed the wifi calling app is build in the VU, too! But I've never seen one in these two versions... I downloaded them from Virtuous official site and did full wipes when installing. What could be wrong?

If it is included in the VU, how can I extract the app and install it manually?

--My Touch4G on TMOUS, running on Virtuous Unity 1.31.0
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Sorry man, have absolutely no idea what you're exactly referring to. The TMO Wifi calling app is built in, it should be in your app drawer. I see it every time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawacoffee:
I just did a full wipe from recovery and reinstalled 1.31 again. There is no WiFi calling app in my drawer I swear... Am I the only person having this issue?

Thanks for your reply anyway!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Are you downloading the ROM from the official source and verifying the MD5 before flashing?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
It's right there. So don't know why you're not seeing it. This is a fresh flash.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawacoffee:
Yes I verified the md5 on right on the SD card: f50ca157513387db244b927a9db4e4a3 -- correct

I only do fresh, full-wipe (data, cache and dalvik) installations but never seen the app in previous 3 or 4 attempts.

Is there any log of installation that may be helpful?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Did you wipe /system? Is your phone compatible with WiFi calling? (Virtuous Unity supports different phones with the same ROM file, some users randomly go posting in other forums).l are you on T-Mobile? Have you already connected to wifi with the random "Did you know" popup appearing?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawacoffee:
Yes this is a MT4G on TmoUS. I had been using WiFi calling on the stock froyo until I started to flash VU 1.29/31 last week. Every flash ever since is after a full wipe.

I have never seen the "Did you know?" thing after fresh flashes of VU. However after flashing the patch in my OP it shows up at boot.

But it is not working for the reason said.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawacoffee:
Just in case you have any doubt, the following is EXACTLY how I flashed the VU 1.31.

Verified:

1. It is a MT4G or HTC Glacier (the VU installation script also recognized it)

2. I'm on Tmobile US and have used wifi calling before.

3. md5 checked on SD card same as official release.

Procedure:

1. Reboot into CWM recovery 3.0.2.4 from the power option in a running VU 1.31.

2. -backup and restore -> Backup

3. -wipe data/factory reset

4. -wipe cache partition

5. mounts and storage -> format /system

6. advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache

7. install zip from sdcard -> virtuous_unity-v1.31.0.zip

Results:

1. No "Do you know your phone can make calls over wifi..." pop-ups on boot.

2. No wifi calling app in my drawer. <pic>

Thanks for all your responses. I think I want to give up at this point. Maybe submit a bug report. Too many flashes in a day... tired.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
With the details you provided, I see no reason why WiFi calling shouldn't show up. It's a mystery to me at this point.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wawacoffee:
Yeah its not only a mystery but frustration to me.. Is there a log file of the installation to track down the problem? I took a shot of the messages from the installer but it looks okay.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
I would try reporting it in the bug tracker or contact the devs direcetly via PM or Twitter.

Ok, maybe I suck at searching, and if I missed it, I apologize, but...

Has anyone made a rooted version of the OFFICIAL (not leaked version) stock Gingerbread rom yet? I'm basically looking for the complete OTA update with no changes except root.

And please don't make fun... I actually LIKE some of the T-Mobile bloat, but much of it does me no good as I'm using the handset with Wind Mobile. I want to stay stock, but keep root so I can freeze/delete the bloat I don't need or want.

I suspect it's a little early in the OTA to be looking for this, but I thought it was worth a shot anyway.

Thanks
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
It's on the first page of the Dev section. Don't know how you missed it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuclearbroccoli:
Aha! Found it.

Sorry. I read through that thread a while ago and saw that some were having issues with mail, so I moved on. Apparently that issue had been resolved since I first read that thread. My mistake.

Thanks for the help.

Now to figure out how to do this without bricking my phone..

Research time!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
No problem. Although you should try VU if you haven't. Much more appealing than TMO's mySense.

EDIT: Wait, I notice that you're in Canada. So I'm assuming you have the HTC Panache? If so then I'm not sure if this would be compatible. Again I'm just assuming, just make sure.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuclearbroccoli:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuclearbroccoli:
Yeah, I thought it was the OFFICIAL version myself. Now I have a few issues after flashing the ROM, and being a new member, I can't even let anyone know about it as I can't post in that thread....

1) Lost my Mail app. No big deal - I just installed Maildroid.

2) GPS isn't working. It's turned on, but I'm not getting a lock at all in either the coverage mapper app or Google maps. This IS a big deal.

If anyone has a solution to problem #2, please let me know.

*EDIT*

Here's what I got now:

Android version 2.3.4

Build number 2.19.531.1 CL95282 release-keys

Well, the radio is definitely wrong comparing to the official version, and it looks like flashing the newest radio should fix the issue according to: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1185039.html

So assuming that the newest radio is 12.55.60.25P_26.09.04.26_M, if I can find it then it should play nice with the rest of the updated ROM?

Alternatively, can I just download the Panache radio version or the Froyo radio I had before and flash one of them?

Sorry for the noob questions here, but I'm just getting into this and I'm trying to be careful. Files and directions I'm finding with no problems, but compatibility specifics are still a little beyond my reach.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teo032:
You have stock radio. if you wanted updated radio for that you should have renamed the zip as pd15img and flash in hboot... I think... Please read the whole thread before doing so. anyways try flashing KC's version of the leaked tmo. btw radios are the top sticky in the android dev section.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuclearbroccoli:
LOL! ”I think” does not inspire confidence....

This whole thing is frustrating, and it's largely my own fault for just taking someone's word for it instead of checking myself.

Either way, what's done is done, and I'll just try to switch the radio and run as is until someone makes an untouched but rooted official stock version.

When and if that happens, I'll start fresh.

I'm not feeling up to setting up my phone from scratch yet again at the moment.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teo032:
lol sorry i remember going through the thread over a month ago or so, and I was on my phone and too lazy to search it myself. I am still lazy to search it, but from my experience, KC's version is more "user-friendly" it's stock too, so give that a go.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuclearbroccoli:
I have a plan, but I understand that flashing a radio is somewhat of a risky procedure, so I'm looking for verification on a few things before I start.

As I said above, once someone comes out with a rooted but otherwise untouched OFFICIAL (final) Gingerbread stock ROM with radio, I'll just replace the whole mess, but until then....

So, I'm permarooted using visionary. S off checked in hboot. I do NOT have radio s off though, from what I've read - don't know if that really makes a difference.

As for the radios, I know. I don't want to flash the ROM again, just the radio to hopefully remedy my lack of GPS. Just wanted to make sure that that particular radio was compatible with the rooted stock Gingerbread ROM I flashed.

BootScoot-V2

Info:

This moves bootanimations bootsounds and downanimations and sounds to /data/local

It includes COD Android bootanimation and sound. The original thread for the animation can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=904350

The files should be named like so,

Bootanimation = bootanimation.zip

Bootsound = android_audio.mp3

Downanimation = downanimation.zip

Shutdown Sound = android_out.mp3

And they get copied to /data/local, i include a flasher to make copying easier just put all you files in the zip in data/local and flash.

Usage:

Place BootScoot.zip on sdcard

Boot into recovery

Flash zip

Bootanimation Flasher usage:

Put your bootanimation/downanimation in the zip file in data/local, make sure it's named bootanimation.zip or downanimation.zip (replace "Place Files Here")

Put the zip file on your sd

Flash zip

Enjoy...

Use the bootscoot zip once then use bootanimation flasher to change bootanimations.

Notes:

I added the sound by editing /customize/CID/default.xml like so in case you want to add it to your own rom:

<BootConfiguration>
<BootAnimation animation="/data/local/bootanimation.zip" [color="red"]audio="/data/local/android_audio.mp3"[/color] />
</BootConfiguration>
<ShutdownConfiguration>
<ShutdownAnimation image_png="/data/local/downanimation.zip" [color="red"]audio="/data/local/android_out.mp3"[/color] image="" fps="15" />
</ShutdownConfiguration>

[HTC EVO 3D] Orical:
The great thing about this is there's NO COMPUTER NEEDED. It works quick too. I made a file and loaded some downanimations and bootanimations to select from, so I can just pop in what I want and use it from a small DB of animations.

This isn't working for me. I flashed the portal boot animation and that worked fine. But when I tried flashing the second zip file with animations in the data folder, the downanimation.zip won't work. The boot animation works fine, but when I shut off my phone, it will freeze up on a black screen before it powers off completely.

I've gone in with root explorer and deleted the downanimation.zip file from the data/local directory, and now I'm at least able to turn off my phone without having to pull the battery. Any ideas?

I know it isn't the animation zip file I'm using, because I've tried ones that work as the boot animation, but for whatever reason they don't work as the down animation.
[HTC EVO 3D] Orical:
I'm wondering if your using a bootanimation.zip for down animation, if that's true then that might be the problem, if the animation image isn't set for your devices screen size then you might have to change that before flashing. Check in the .zip folder under the text file and see what size they are.
[HTC EVO 3D] taappel:
Ok, I think I figured out why it wasn't working. Apparently the desc.txt file was telling it to play infinitely due to the number "0" in the file. What do each of these numbers mean and how to I modify a boot animation to use it as a down animation? I don't need it to loop, just to play once is fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] firestetz:
I've used a boot for a down just by renaming it and as far as the numbers first line is size last two are frame rate second line on down first number loops 0 being infinitely 1 being once and so on. Second number how many frames to pause before running each time.
